The geologic story of the Grand Canyon is that it began to take shape 5 to 6 million years ago (a blink of an eye in geological terms) although there are rocks at the deepest depth of the canyon which are almost 2 billion years old. The Canyon is 277 miles long, up to ten miles wide, and nearly 6,000 feet deep in places. It attracts more than five million visitors a year.
The vivid colours of the many layers of rock are mainly due to various minerals, which impart subtle hues of red, yellow and green to the walls of the canyon. The constantly changing play of light on the walls produces a constantly changing panorama of colour, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
We witnessed the fantastic colorama at sunset and we will witness it at sunrise, 5.20am, which is only a few hours away.
Fast forward a few hours to 5.20am. We are standing on a rock at the rim of the canyon, with like-minded people from India, China, Australia, Croatia, Israel, Canada and Sweden, all feeling the same energy, the same life-force, the same presence of the same God. As the sun rises and floods the canyon in a warm red glow, it is a deeply moving spiritual experience. Thank You God.
Dear Dear Me !!!
5.20am
